Orthogonal Arrays Theory And Applications

Abstract In January 2020, infections with a novel coronavirus were confirmed in China. Two years into the pandemic, countries continue to struggle with fifth and sixth waves, new virus variants, and varying degrees of success in vaccinating national populations. Travel restrictions continue to persist, and the global tourism industry looks into a third year of uncertainty. There is a consensus that the COVID crisis should be a turning point, to “build back better”, and that a return to pre-pandemic overtourism phenomena is undesirable. Yet, there is very limited evidence that the crisis has changed or will change tourism beyond the micro-scale. In regard to many issues, such as new debt, global tourism has become more vulnerable. Against the background of the climate crisis, the purpose of this paper is to take stock: Which lessons can be learned from the pandemic for global warming? To achieve this, relevant papers are discussed, along with a dissection of the development of the crisis in Germany, as an example of ad hoc crisis management. Findings are interpreted as an analogue to climate change, suggesting that our common interest should be to put every possible effort into mitigation and the avoidance of a > 1.5 °C future.

Two years of COVID-19 and tourism: what we learned, and what we should have learned

A bibliometric review of research on COVID-19 and tourism: Reflections for moving forward


Purpose
This paper aims to provide a critical reflection on the Great Resignation in the hospitality and tourism industry in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. Specifically, this paper reviews the causes and effects of the Great Resignation, addresses the labor shortage in this industry and proposes strategies that can help manage the challenges.


Design/methodology/approach
This paper is based on a critical analysis of emerging phenomena, related literature and researchers’ experiences and insights.


Findings
The Great Resignation has presented unprecedented challenges for the hospitality and tourism industry. A closer examination reveals that the pandemic has served as a catalyst rather than a leading cause of this trend. Workforce issues are becoming increasingly complex under contemporary influences, including internal elements such as new explications at work and external factors like the gig economy and technology implementation.


Practical implications
This study provides practical implications on how Hospitality and Tourism practitioners can respond to the Great Resignation on micro, meso and macro levels. The practical implications revolve around employees’ changing needs and preferences in the wave of Great Resignation, as well as the necessity for employers’ reflection and improvement.


Originality/value
This study marks an initial attempt to provide a critical assessment of a contemporary issue involving the Great Resignation. This paper extends its discussion through an advanced analysis of the issue, offers suggestions to manage current obstacles related to labor issues in hospitality and tourism, and illuminates future research directions.

How does COVID-19 differ from previous crises? A comparative study of health-related crisis research in the tourism and hospitality context

COVID-19 and hospitality and tourism research: An integrative review

Optimal designs for estimating linear and quadratic contrasts with three level factors, the case N ≡ 0 mod 3

An alternative to the specificities of geographic, socio-economic/demographic, and psychographic modes, expenditure-based segmentation, a behavioral approach, provides the ideal avenue for exploring tourist spending patterns and behavior. Reflecting the idiosyncrasies of a small island destination, this study explores tourists' actual spending in the course of their vacations in Cyprus. A two-step cluster analysis is utilized to develop an expenditure-based segmentation profile with the aim of exploring the spending behavior of tourists. Furthermore, econometric modeling reveals each cluster's effect on the relevant expenditure categories, and the net impact of the cost of package on spending at the destination. Noteworthy, expenditure at the destination is dissected into seven categories, thus providing a more thorough overview of tourist behavior. Findings reveal a five-cluster solution that profiles the spending behavior of package travelers, whereas segment comparisons highlight significant implications for local tourism stakeholders, on both the operational and strategic levels.

Profiling the package traveler: An expenditure-based segmentation endeavor

Row and column designs are examined and the concept of majorization is applied to find optimal designs, when the observations are either independent or dependent. The dependence follows a first-order autoregression with parameter α. The case of two treatments is examined and the universally optimal or Φ-optimal designs are given, for different values of a, when the number of experimental units is even or odd. A filtering procedure is followed to reduce the number of competing designs.
